Beijing Travel Guide

Things to do in Beijing

Previously in Beijing, the city''s most interesting attractions
related to the spectacular history of China''s capital city. These
wonderful examples of ancient innovations and well-preserved
glimpses into millennia of Chinese history are still there, but the
city is no longer only viewed as a virtual museum.

Now eye-catching structures and modern architectural wonders are
among the city''s most visited attractions including the National
Stadium, better known as the Bird''s Nest, and the National Grand
Theatre, known as the Eggshell. It is no surprise many believe the
modern attractions detract from the city''s old, but many enjoy the
stark contrast.

Yet, of course, the iconic historic Beijing sites remain the
most popular. The Great Wall of China is the city''s most famous
attraction, only rivalled by the well-preserved Forbidden City at
the heart of Beijing. More recent history can be seen at the
infamous Tiananmen Square or the Chairman Mao Mausoleum. A walk
through some of the world''s most ancient to most modern attractions
makes Beijing eternally captivating.
